That cube is looking good. All you need to do is put some colored sticks in there.

I wish I could just say what the heck and throw a tank together. I'd have a repo agent knocking on my door the next weekend. Looks good BTW.

it didnt cost me anything to do it.. my cube was fresh so all I did was take my fresh stuff and put them in my 18 gal. Eclipse. everything that is in the cube came from the 135. its pretty much all parts I had laying around. the 135 was due for a water change so I just filled the cube up about 60% with water from the 135 and mixed new water for the remainder. worked out nice. the MH pendant has 2 65W actnics on it so I just used the one light stuck it on a timer and waalllaaa easy..
the two skimmers are pretty cool they are doing a bang up job 100% of the water coming from the over flow runs through the skimmers..
I am going to start adding some of the more hardy stuff in today..

so made a little progress on the cube.. got a few new frags.. I am pretty much just leaving the tank alone and I am trying to give it some time to age a little. I am having a problem with diatoms.. I have to wipe down the tank almost every day. hopefully it will die off soon. it is starting to slow down..

I did get a few new small frags from a local ..
got a micro pink blaster chalice I won in the local photo of the month
